When your mom is a pharmacist...



Our oldest returns to West Point this week. Anna Louise will start her freshman year at Baylor in late August. Both will be approximately 1000 miles away from us, after spending the past four months in our home. There is very little that I can do as a mother from that distance. But, I can send them prepared with all sorts of stuff in case they contract Covid-19 and have to quarantine. Here is what I included in their "Quarantine Kit".
